‘Sweden facing climate change – threats and opportunities’ is the title of final report SOU2007:60 presented by the ‘Swedish Commission on Climate and Vulnerability’ in 2007. Appointed by the Swedish government in 2005, the commission’s task is to assess the impact of global climate change on the country. Over the last decades Sweden has suffered from significantly rising numbers of floods, landslides, and erosion. The persistent and increasing risk will affect buildings, roads, and many other infrastructure facilities. The Swedish government has granted a considerable amount of money to protect Sweden’s society, infrastructure, industry, and agriculture. One of the preventive measures is a new digital elevation model delivering highly accurate elevation data of Sweden.
